The Light of Day

Chapter Seventeen: Minicons

Fracture's Profile:

  I transformed and landed, a stasis pod right in front of me, " Airraiser! Divebomb! Open this pod!" I said, releasing my adopted kids.

  They gladly opened it, a ball like object jumped out of the pod. It transformed and looked like a minicon but not really. It kept talking gibberish. It then ran around collecting rocks happy.

  " What is it?" I asked my kids.

  " A cyclone, there are different kinds of minicons Sire." Divebomb explained, " Loyal Decepticon torpedoes like us-"

  " Wretched Autobots." Airraiser continued.

  " And cyclones. The unpredictable, unlined." Divebomb finished.

  " Unlined? Until now." I said, going over to it.

  " No sire! They're no good!" I heard Divebomb protest.

  " It's fine. More minicons means more muscle." I said, standing over the minicon, " I am Fracture, you will join me cyclone."

  The minicon looked up at me for a solid three seconds, then went over to a rock, " What's wrong with it? Why isn't it attaching?!"

  " You can't force a minicon to join you Sire." Divebomb said, " A master asks, but-"

  " A minicon must accept." Airraiser finished.

  I nodded, my spark giving them pulses of gratitude silently through our bond, but I couldn't leave this minicon, " Well then this minicon will accept." I said.

  All of a sudden, something landed on my back. Another cyclops! The minicon held tight to me.

  " Tap, tap, tap, tap." The minicon punched my helm in succession.

  " Bang! Bang!" The minicon, who I been trying to convince, then has thrown his two rocks at me.

  I tried to keep standing upright, but I feel down collapsing in pain. Everything went black, but then I woke up a moment later with my two adopted sons looming over my helm concerned. Getting up to my pedds, allowing my sons to reattach with me.

  " Those Cyclones will be mine." I vowed.

Slipstream's Profile:

  " The training simulation is about to begin." Master Drift said, releasing me and Jetstorm, " Choose an appropriate seat from which to view it, students."

  We both ran to the T.V. where some crates/seats had been set up for it. " It's called a movie." Sideswipe said walking up to us.

  " And you're in my spot." Sideswipe said, pointing at Jetstorm's spot, " I called Dibs!"

  " Dibs?" Me and Jetstorm asked at the same time.

  " Everyone knows Dibs! It's ancient!" Sideswipe then knelt down to our level, " And it's super dishonorable to ignore Dibs."

  " We would never!" Jetstorm cried out.

  " Please explain this, 'Dibs', of what you speak." I asked, both of us leaning forward.

  " Well, if you want first claim on something you just say, Dibs. And it's yours!" Sideswipe explained, " For example."

  Sideswipe leaned down and touched a figure, " Dibs! See, now this creepy little dude is mine."

  " Impressive." Jetstorm said, both of us clapping.

  " You are quite powerful." I added on.

  An alarm then went off, causing us all to go to the Command Center. " I'm picking up a signal from an open Stasis Pod." Fixit said, pulling up some maps and the Criminal Database.
